Hooking up sending units?

Does anyone know if there is a way to hook up trans. temp. and diff. temp. gauges (autometer) without having to do any drilling and tapping?

The trans temp can go in the test port on the side of the trans .this has been talked about here before.
The diff sensor,that will require drilling or you can replace the cover with an aftermarket cover with a spot already in it for temp sendor .

I think I would drill a hole and tap it in the housing somewhere where you have clearance front pass side below the oil level just to keep the wires out of the way...my 2cents.

Get the MagHytec, you'll never regret it. Besides, you'll get a lot of people asking you about your rear end.
